Legendary Hollywood actor - Dennis Hopper - who first rose to prominence playing opposite Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, and Rock Hudson in George Steven's sprawling Western Saga - "Giant: - died at his home in Venice on Saturday.
Mr. Hopper (74) death has been attributed to complications from prostate cancer.
The multi-talented actor (he was also an accomplished painter) is best known for directing and starring in the 1969 cult classic “Easy Rider".
I was blessed with the opportunity to interview the one of the last great stars at the Las Vegas Film Festival (CineVegas).
Mr. Hopper was a kind, gentle man, full of grace!

On March 26th (2010) Hopper was delighted to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (long overdue by the way).
Although terminally ill, he waved to fans (with Jack Nicholson at his side) who responded with thunderous cheers, foot stomping, and vigorous clapping.
Dennis Hopper brought a lot of joy to the world.
The charismatic actor (God broke the mold after he made him) will be missed.
